</div>Ah, I didn't know this feature and I never actually used Apple's<br>
configuration utility. My tests were with a configuration created<br>
directly on the phone (which has no option to configure VPN on demand).<br>
Anyway, it seems the client behaves differently if the config is<br>
created on the phone than if it is created with the configuration<br>
utility. I found a (german) tutorial describing how to configure a VPN<br>
connection using said tool, which also offers a solution to store the<br>
XAuth password [1]. It roughly translates to this: "Instead of<br>
transferring the config with the configuration utility directly to the<br>
phone, export it as file and import that file via email on the phone.<br>
(That's probably something you already did as the export results in a<br>
.mobileconfig file). Before sending the config to the phone, edit the<br>
XML file, search for the XAuthName entry and add the following two lines<br>
after it:<br>
<br>
<key>XAuthPassword</key><br>
<string>yourpassword</string><br>
<br>
As opening the patched .mobileconfig file in the configuration utility<br>
would remove the added lines, the file has to be transferred to the<br>
phone via email."<br>
<br>
I did not try this, so I'm not sure if it works. Of course, this also<br>
doesn't answer the question why UNITY_SAVE_PASSWD does not work, or if<br>
it is even supported by iOS.<br>
<br>
